Verse 1 There’s a crack in the window Where the evening slips in Streetlight on your shoulder Like a second skin Your coffee’s getting colder But you don’t seem to mind You’re staring at the silence Quiet between the lines Verse 2 We don’t talk about tomorrow We don’t talk about before There’s a record softly spinning Like it’s done a hundred times or more Your fingers trace the tabletop Like you’re drawing a goodbye But it’s floating in the distance Like a tear you won’t let cry Chorus Stay a little longer Let the night decide We don’t need the answers We don’t need to hide If this is all we’re given Just this borrowed time I’ll meet you in the quiet Between the lines Verse 3 The moon hangs like a question On a pale and empty sky You say you should be leaving But you never tell me why Your coat is on the chair now Your heart still on your sleeve Every time you almost go You almost almost leave Chorus Stay a little longer Let the night decide We don’t need the answers We don’t need to hide If this is all we’re given Just this fragile sign I’ll meet you in the quiet Between the lines Bridge Maybe love’s a whisper Not a grand parade Maybe it’s the little things We’re both too scared to say Maybe it’s the breathing When the words don’t come Maybe it’s the breaking Before we come undone Soft Final Chorus Stay a little longer Till the morning shines If we fall to pieces Let it be in time If you’re only passing Through this heart of mine I’ll keep you in the quiet Between the lines
